The answer is "tertiary".


You are a "tertiary" consumer if you feed on secondary consumers.


A tertiary consumer is a creature that acquires its sustenance by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers. Typically tertiary customers are carnivorous predators, despite the fact that they may likewise be omnivores, which are creatures that feed on both meat and plant material.

Tertiary consumers regularly involve the best trophic level, as are originated before by no different creatures; for this situation they are designated "summit predators". In any case, when they kick the bucket their bodies will be devoured by scavengers and decomposers.

You are a tertiary consumer if you feed on secondary consumers. Being a tertiary consumer means that you're consuming other consumers who already did consume energy from organisms which aren't considered to be consumers; usually plants.
